Is Rockstar the only good AAA developer left?

>Shark Card Co
>good

>Nigger games
>Good

>Shitload of backlash after they announced NO singleplayer campaign DLC
>Shitload of backlash over grindy, horrible, mind you, free DLC for multiplayer that requires people to hack/cheat for money

>Buying a sharkcard gets you around.. 8mill, for $100USD. 8Mill barely gets you two of the newest DLC vehciles

Yeah nah, I just can't wait to see how they fuck up RDR2.

They're already doing the greedy, stupid practice of double dipping, again.

>rockstar
>good
let me know when their character movement system isn't stiff unresponsive horseshit because it's tied to their shitty physics engine that ragdolls you every 5 seconds

This. My expectations for RDR2 are pretty low seeing what Rockstar has become.

You only play western games don't you

>playing R* games for the multiplayer
Oh, you're retarded.

I'll excuse that for the fact that they make they best open world games of all time. There is no other studio that comes close right now and the campaigns are usually 10/10.

Was a huge r* fanboy last gen but seeing what they did to GTAO, I am very weary as to what to expect with RDR2.

Nope!

I thought the GTA V campaign was pretty bad. It focused on a lot of action set pieces and locations that you can never experience again and the writing was straight out of a sitcom

I'm not going to dispute the technical aspects because the game is amazing on that level but after the shameless moneygrab of GTAO R* has really fallen in my eyes

>Implying that Game "two steps forward five steps backward" Freak is better than any developer modern developer

I agree, end game content and replay ability was lack luster

you couldn't do any new heists and the only shit you could do afterwards was monotonous bullshit activities that you probably didn't wanna do anyway

>I am weary as to what to expect with RDR2

Rockstar employees drowning in avalanches of money being dumped on them by the truckfull?

>>Shitload of backlash over grindy, horrible, mind you, free DLC for multiplayer that requires people to hack/cheat for money
Nigger you can do like 2 hours of content and have 1m dollars at your disposal which buys you virtually anything you want

They fucked up GTA V

>gta 5
>first mission is being a nigger and stealing cars
epic
simply epic :^)

>like 2 hours of content
Which is all the online portion has

Why didn't they just release 1 new heist every two months or so?

>kikestar
>good

Can't wait to see what they have in store for RDR2.

it was legal repossession

Hey dumbfuck I mentioned the no DLC for singleplayer too, the singleplayer alone for GTAV was horrendously boring.

Try again, faggot.

Uh huh. Yeah, assuming if you have top range vehicles and 3-4 friends selling them all at once FOR YOU, because if you're helping someone you get what? 10-20k? Oh yeah, that's a whole lot.

The fuck outta here you shilling cunt.

>gta sa
>first mission is being a nigger and stealing a bike
ebin

Nice shift you prancing faggot, literally gitgud, theres hundreds of hours of shit to do and you don't have to grind much at all for any of it.

hmm let's see. Rockstar in ealry '00
>GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas
>Manhunt, The Warriors, Bully

Rockstar late 2000
>Red Dead Auto
>Max Cutscenes 3
>GTA: MMO
Fuck no, r* is shit

>Uh huh. Yeah, assuming if you have top range vehicles and 3-4 friends selling them all at once FOR YOU, because if you're helping someone you get what? 10-20k? Oh yeah, that's a whole lot.
You're fucking bad

You do the easy as shit fleeca heist and get 200k for like 15 minutes of work and the only mildly challenging part of it is the escape at the end which is easy as fuck to avoid all the cops since its all scripted

Yes.

Rockstars the current GOAT. They have reached the peak in terms of what video game devs can become. So in saying that, they're what every dev strives to be.

The get the best praise and sell the most games. What more can you do in the world of gaming?

>What more can you do in the world of gaming
make good games

This.
> It focused on a lot of action set pieces and locations that you can never experience again and the writing was straight out of a sitcom
Yeah but what are you comparing it to? The dreary grey crime drama where you drive cars and shoot gangsters exclusively for the entire game?
Awful post.
>ugh why do i only get to play missions once time despite being able to replay them from the menu :(((
Pathetic.

He means you can't do other heists after the game is over

They've already done that like I said. Western and eastern hemisphere acknowledges them as the best.

$0.02 cents have been deposited in your Rockstar account

no, they make profitable games now. There's a subtle but vital difference

>raising the base price of GTAV by bundling it with a shark card during big Steam sales so you still have to pay $60 to get it
>GTAV falls apart halfway through and the map is a humongous empty wasteland
>GTAO is a fucking travesty, with more grind than most MMOs
>Heists are tedious and you can't even get nearly as much money you used to for doing them because they want people to buy shark cards
Rockstar North literally made a F2P game that you have to pay $60 to play. They are not a good developer.

I pray for San Diego's safety but deep down I know RDR2 is doomed.

>>GTAO is a fucking travesty, with more grind than most MMOs
You people don't even play it see
You can make tons of money and if you do the All in Order elite challenge you get gobs of money on top of that

stop being bad, getting money is trivially easy

You're the only one thinking this game is any decent.

Go back to your general to shitpost more about your ugly manchinned waifus in GTAO, nigger.

no mention of the ubiquitous hacking as well. I feel like every 10th game I play there' soms invincible asswipe blowing up everybody

>The get the best praise and sell the most games.
You mean shilling the living shit out of their games.

>You're the only one thinking this game is any decent.
I didn't say that I said you can get money easy you fucking mongoloid.

You can't even retort to my statement that blows your lying ass out of the water

Fleeca job is easy as shit and you can pull loads of money super easy, stop being bad

A lot of people gave up on this piece of shit before heists were introduced.
You would need to grind for hours and hours to afford a good apartment, while others just hacked their way to tanks

in western area yeah, the last good japanese company is pic related.

>vaporware studio
>takes 5 years to make an Asscreed clone with mass effect tier writting

>Max Cutscenes 3
weren't the other games like that? Anyways it still has good gameplay and story. Kinda like the MGS4 of the series but pretty good over all

>a lot
obviously not since the game's population went way the fuck up when it came to PC and then went up even further when it came out again on PS4 X1

Dude you are such a fan boy I play it and it is grindy as fuck. I have over 130 cars and in real money that's thousands of $$$

what they did to sonic is horseshit

>You people don't even play it see
Not him but I've been playing this game since the original last gen launch. This game has always been a grind fest even before heists came out.

>you're a fan boy because you pointed out how to make money easy as piss

Stop lying

>its grindy as fuck
what are you even doing? I just showed you how to make over 2m easy in less than 2 hours.

If you're gonna complain about that sale, at least complain that they sold the PC the following quarter to boost up sales during it.

I see people in here bitching about GTAO and the shark card. But these have been absolutely brilliant business moves that have made them billions of dollars off 1 game and led to 75 million sales. I'd say GTA V has made more money from one game than most AAA franchises have all together.

This industry is all about business at the end of the day, and they have perfected it.

they have never made a bad sonic game

>points out easy way to make loads of money
>that doesn't count because of my preconceived notion as I bitch about what it was when it first came out

ok but this isn't /biz/ and nobody asked about who's the most business savvy developer, we discuss games here

...

they're the only good western dev left

not an argument.

ristar is the greatest sonic game

wrong

nah
sonic adventure is pure nostalgia bait

it's a fairly mediocre game

Well lets talk about the game then. The game has launched countless of times over the years, there was never any game breaking glitches or issues, the mod community has surpassed Skyrims and the people who actually play their online enjoy the hell out of it, seeing as how it tops Steam and PSN monthly users.

The only thing I fault GTA V on is just not addiung anymore story driven content, and not putting out more content making heists better.

You want an argument? How about giving sonic to a bunch incompetent developers that ruined him?

hey arin

I wouldnt even say mediocre, its just straight up bad even for back then

sonic mania is shaping up to be the best game of 2017, dumb bastard.

>the mod community has surpassed Skyrims

Yes.
Only working real fair Money Shop working Out there.
You niggers will find a flaw in everything.
Hands down it's the best Dev Out there.

EVERYONE SHUT UP

>muh shark card
kek like clockwork I bet you play scamgames like csgo, dota and overshit praise gayben "xd"

arin can eat a cock
alttp is easily surpassed by every GB/GBC/N64 zelda game

nice try, arin.

no I don't. Got any more of them dumb assumptions? Also it's a bad comparison since those games only have cosmetic items, in GTA there's a mechanical difference

This. Only people who are making more Money Out of their games while keeping the average consumer satisfied is Halbe and their Last Game was releases like a Millennium ago.

I like memes too user.

*Valve
Fucking smartphone

Links awakening is the only zelda game better than alttp.

Stop lying my ass I'm level 501 and have every car. You are a literal fan boy accept it.

>went from GTA IV online to GTA V online

That's my only gripe with them

>sonic mania
that is the saddest example anyone can give. Giving the project to someone on the outside let alone fan game developer is pathetic. It just goes to show how awful the original developers are

>its okay when nintendo shuts down fan projects

lol get fucked

San Andreas and GTA IV multiplayer are some of the best experiences I've had.

>it's something different because I say so
you pay irl money for ingame shit the only difference is in gta you don't irl money to unlock shit
just do 2 heists and and you got a million

>Ristar sequel never
I will never forgive Sega for their obsession with their blue shithead. You can even tell Sonic Team is growing tired of him every time they try to force in a gimmick to switch it up. You just know they all want to visit an old IP but corporate is holding them back

when have I ever said that? I wasn't even talking about Nintendo and neither do I care what they do.

>the singleplayer alone for GTAV was horrendously boring

subjective

wrong, objectively

t. nintentoddler

>it's something different because I say so
no it's different due to an objective criteria I just laid out

>in gta you don't irl money to unlock shit
pretty sure all 3 games you listed offer cosmetic packs for free just for playing the game

Not him but it was the worst gta yet.

>No one mentions the batshit of censor they have in Social Club and in-game Online chat

I thought their games were M-rated.

Anyways Atlus is a way better Japanese company than Sega. What does Sega have? Weeaboo gta? Its not even better than Sleeping Dogs.

GTA IV was garbage.
Max Payne 3 was utter garbage on every level, from writing to physics to especially the fucking gameplay. I cannot fathom how could anyone think this disaster of a cover shooter plays better than MP2.
GTA V was better than IV, but hamstrung by dumb tacked-on mechanics like three playable characters or the stock market.
GTA:O I won't comment on. Haven't touched it, probably never will. The concept sounds pretty good, but it's just not my up alley.

I'm not too optimistic about their future titles.

sega owns atlus dumbass

>What does Sega have?
Atlus

what are you talking about

swear to god the rockstar's disrespect is UNACCEPTABLE

it's certainly my favourite

the obsession with sonic always confused me
sega got way too greedy with it's success, and were punished because you can only go so far with a "cool" attitude and "fast-paced" platforming

only a contrarian pcfag would deny that gta 5 is the best gta in ever
it's better than the prequels in every way

Rocksteady is pretty good so far, with three excellent Batman games.
